website needed w/wordpress and forums

I need a wordpress expert to help me create a new wordpress template (using CSS) that I have created in Photoshop along with some wordpress plug-ins.

I want a tiny bit of flash in the headder - basically just 5 words to fade in and out.

Service Provider skillset:

-Must have an indepth knowledge of php &amp; css.

-Must have a keen knowledge of SEO.

-Must be able create css layouts that will be cross browser compatible and not break (IE css hack experience desired)

Communication is a must. Provider must be available via e-mail as well as phone. More than likely the selected provider will also be solicited for continued work regarding this and other projects.

10 days is the maximum time alloted for project completion and I will work closely with the selected provider to see that the job is done adequately.

- Integrate forum software (e.g DCForums [url removed, login to view], phpbb: [url removed, login to view], or vanilla: [url removed, login to view]). I may create an image in photoshop and request you create a new template. The forum must have user friendly validation e.g. message telling user password is sent and they may need to look in their spam folder, the email sent has link taking them directly back to the page they need to log in, login then takes them to change password screen, then user is taken back to where they were before they were instructed to register.

- Each podcast entry will have title, multiple embedded podcast file and player, image, link to more (which will take user to another page with transcript), comments, rss feed links, and other links like digg and other social bookmarks.

I will need your input to figure out exactly which plugins I will need. Below are some I believe I will need. I probably missed some, and some you may suggest alternatives to what is below:

- Website snapshop &amp; validation tool

- Insert [url removed, login to view] in some places throughout the site
